Ultrafast or Ultrafast Plus?

    I currently have Vodafone FTTH Gigabit Broadband 150 and my contract is up and I'm now paying €60/month. I called Vodafone and they are only offering special deals to new customers, so it's time to change. My speeds are no better than 30 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up with a latency of about 6 ms. Currently I've been looking at the Sky offers and for my address they have Ultrafast Max with supposed downloads up to 1 Gb/s for €65/month, Ultrafast Plus with supposed downloads up to 500 Mb/s for €50/month and Ultrafast with supposed downloads up to 150 Mb/s for €35/month. I don't need superfats broadband, but at times my broadband is unusable and unable to stream. I understand the Ultrafast Max is probably a bit of a scam and maybe more than I need, so I'm between Ultrafast Plus and Ultrafast. If I was certain that the Ultrafast Plus was much better and more reliable I'd go for it, but I suspect there may not be much of a difference. Any advice?

    If your current clients are only managing 30Mb then whether you have 150Mb or 1G will make no difference for you.

    Hi ED E,

    Thanks, that's what I thought. Thanks for confirming.
